If you have ever planted bamboo, you know how quickly - and persistently - it grows. These two traits are what make it one of the most sustainable building materials out there. Its versatile shades blend seamlessly with almost any choice of countertop, adding to its appeal. And let's not forget, bamboo is not only a feast for the eyes but requires very little upkeep. What's there not to love? Just remember to chat with your local cabinet manufacturers about your plans. They're the experts who can guide you in selecting exactly what you need for your project.
Is bamboo a good wood for cabinets?
If you're interested in a kitchen remodel with bamboo cabinets, you have two options: ordering custom bamboo cabinets or selecting one of our lovely bamboo cabinet refacing options: Natural or Harvest Gold. These two shades are a wonderful way to lighten and brighten any kitchen space, whether you have a smaller galley-kitchen or an open concept design. Now your job is to select a countertop surface which will work well with your bamboo cabinet finish.
Here are a few of our suggestions:
Shale - Corian Terra Collection
This option has some golden and honey flecks which work with the warm tones of either bamboo finish. While any lighter shade of Corian would work, Shale allows homeowners to have a dark countertop, without having to worry about darkening the entire kitchen since the lighter bamboo tones will balance it out. Plus, this darker finish will help to hide coffee grounds and other daily-countertop-happenings which you might not always have the time to clean up.
Canterbury - Cambria Quartz
If you've visited our blog in the past, you have probably noticed we have a particular affection for Quartz countertops. Most people who opt for Bamboo are conscientious about the rest of their finishes. Quartz is one of the most sustainable countertop products on the market and is absolutely gorgeous. Plus, the Cambria Quartz line is made right here in the USA. Canterbury offers a beautiful variety of earth tones that will blend well with bamboo cabinets, as well as any appliance and hardware finish.
Tropical Brown Granite
Can't decide whether or not you want to go light or dark with your kitchen countertops? Tropical Brown granite says, "Yes and Yes!" and gives you the best of both worlds. Granite is durable and easy to clean, but it will require a little annual time and effort to keep it sealed properly.
